One-time passcodes (OTPs) are a key part of secure logins on many legitimate websites—but only when used correctly. Attackers can trick you into entering your OTP on fake login pages that look real. To protect yourself, only enter an OTP if you requested it and you're sure you're on the official website—ideally accessed by typing the URL directly into your browser. Never share your OTP by email, phone, or chat, and remember: legitimate services will never ask you to send your OTP to anyone.
